Options
- AGlycogen is a type of protein found in muscle tissue, while starch is a carbohydrate.
- BGlycogen is a complex sugar found in plant cells, while starch is a simpler sugar found in animal cells.
- CGlycogen is a carbohydrate storage molecule in animals made as a branched polymer of α−D−glucose whereas Starc
- DGlycogen is a type of lipid, whereas starch is a type of nucleic acid.
Correct answer
C. Glycogen is a carbohydrate storage molecule in animals made as a branched polymer of α−D−glucose whereas Starc
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) Glycogen is a carbohydrate storage molecule in animals made as a branched polymer of α−D−glucose whereas Starch is also a polymer of α−D−glucose but is made up of two components-amylose(linear polymer) and amylopectin(branched polymer)
